Justin and the Best Biscuits...
by Mildred Pitts Walter | Grades 3-5
Justin and the Best Biscuits in the World by Mildred Pitts Walter is about a young boy named Justin who spends a summer on his grandfather's ranch. Struggling with chores and feeling inadequate compared to his sisters, Justin learns valuable lessons in self-reliance, responsibility, and family heritage under his grandfather's patient guidance. Along the way, he discovers that cooking, particularly making biscuits, can be more than just a chore—it can be an expression of love and a source of pride. This touching story beautifully illustrates themes of growth, resilience, and the importance of understanding one's roots.
